The 10 Best Tours in Frankfort, Kentucky (KY)
The city of Frankfort has a long and torturous history. First settled in 1786, the city has survived a failed attempt to make Kentucky a part of the Spanish Empire, an occupation by the Confederate Army, disastrous fires, and flooding from the Kentucky River. This exciting past has left the capital city full of historic sites, museums, and restored mansions. Visit the bourbon warehouses at the Buffalo Trace Distillery or explore the beautiful Bluegrass Hills at the Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary.

3. The "Bourbon Pompeii TM"
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
This tour is the perfect way to travel the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. You will participate in a river tour, passing through one of the locks that has transported millions of gallons of bourbon through it in our history. You will also see the distillery from an angle many do not get to see; from the river! After leaving the river, we will travel back to the distillery, where you will go on the specially designed "EH Taylor Tour", which is a tour in very high demand and very limited. See the "Bourbon Pompeii TM", the oldest part of the distillery, over 175 years old! Finish things off with a private tasting in the EH Taylor house... hardly anyone gets to go in here! Then there is plenty of time left to peruse the well stocked Gift Shop.
Inclusions: Soda/Pop, Snacks
Exclusions: Alcoholic Beverages

I love this place this is my favorite place to go during the summer. We've been every year for at least the last 6 years. My family also went this year as well,2020 but I did not attend with them. I love the petting zoo, and a beach area where you can swim,fish,or rent boats. They have life jackets and some activities require you to wear them. It's alot of fun for all ages of the family. You can bring RV'S, rent cabins, or even rent a plot and set up tents. The have a public restroom with showers and sinks and stalls for males and females at the main entrance. There is plenty of room to explore, hiking, see wild animals. But enough privacy to have a party weekend with your friends, no problem. All this fun, adventure,experience, and vacation time all of us have to spend during the Coronavirus. This is the perfect place for everything listed above and still Social Distance yourself from others!!! I promise you won't forget this trip... It may jus become your family tradition also!????????????????????????????????????

I’d give 0 stars if I could. My girlfriend booked this tour for our anniversary. We waited 30 minutes in the rain for someone to pick us up. Unfortunately, no one ever came. I would not recommend this company as they never even picked up the phone (we called all numbers listed.)
